Chapter 3- “Swimwear”

Dear reader,
I know it’s been a while since I last wrote to you, but I come with good advice ! (at least that’s what I hope so)

We all love summer (I hope I am right), but something concerns us most… At least this is one of my biggest concerns: “How am I going to look in my swimsuit?”. Everybody has some insecurities about their bodies (OK, maybe Victoria’s Secret models don’t), but if you can choose the outfit that suits you most, why wouldn’t you be able to choose a swimsuit too? It’s summer! You deserve to feel comfortable in your own skin without wondering what people may think when they look at you! So, I’ll stop talking (or writing) and give you ( or at least try ) what you need!

Each of us is unique so therefore our bodies are unique too! Still, there are bodies which look alike thus creating a number of body types. According to some scientific research, there have been defined 48 sexy shapes ( here I am talking strictly about women ). Each of these 48 body types having their own mix of height, weight and silhouette. Still, I am not going to analyze all of them but I am going to talk about THE FOUR main types : INVERTED TRIANGLE, RECTANGLE, TRIANGLE AND CLEPSYDRA.

INVERTED TRIANGLE ( APPLE SILHOUETTE )

This category is addressed to those ladies who have wider shoulders than hips, thus their body forming an inverted triangle. Although not all of you may have an enviable abdomen, by using the proper swimsuit anything can change! The swimsuit that fits this category most is the full one which covers the abdomen and marks the waistline or a retro 2 pieced one.

This category is addressed to those ladies who have shoulders as wide as hips, thus their body forming a rectangle. Searching the swimsuit that will suit you most, you have to consider the fact that it has to be a 2 pieced one, prints and colors being a must have! Also, don’t be afraid to try a swimsuit that contains wheels or fringes in composition of the bathing suit bra/bottoms, you will be surprised to see how good it will fit you!

This category is addressed to those ladies who have a slender chest and slim shoulders, hips being wider, thus forming a triangle. Don’t worry about the difference between your chest and hips! The swimsuit that will give you a balanced body is that which emphasizes the chest. The bathing suit bra must contain wheels, prints or fringes, the bathing suit bottoms being a matching one as simple as possible.

CLEPSYDRA ( CLEPSYDRA SILHOUETTE )
This category is addressed to those ladies who have perfectly balanced body, their shoulders being as wide as hips with a defined waist between them. Your luck! You can wear any kind of swimsuit, but be careful to the accessories you’ll use in the outfit!

To complete the beach outfit don’t forget to buy a brimmed hat, a “must have” nowdays which doesn’t just look exceptional BUT will give you protection against UV which we all know how dangerous can be! Also, if you want to be fashionable, don’t forget the sun cream!

I was thinking not to step in the boys section, BUT I can’t help myself! Guys, PLEASE, do us a favor and DON’T wear bathing slips BUT bathing shorts. There are a lot of bathing shorts which are waiting to be bought!

I hope that my advice will be useful to you and also, if you like the article, don’t forget to share it on any kind of social network. Also, feel free to express your opinion in a comment or a message on Facebook.
